SCI FI Wire caught up with David Goyer who talked about the hour-long Blade series he’s working on for Spike TV:

“I’m co-writing the pilot with Jeff Johns, and it’s going to be Spike’s first dramatic show, and it’s going to air next June.”

Goyer said that the network has ordered 13 episodes of the new series, which will center on the vampire-killing hero of the Blade films, which Goyer also wrote (he directed that last one, Blade: Trinity).

“It’ll be Blade, but it’s different than the movies, that’s all I can say,” Goyer said, adding that a new actor will be hired to portray the iconic character, who was played by Wesley Snipes in the movies.

He also said they have had a meeting for a Batman Begins sequel. For more of the interview, hit the link above.
